In our meeting Tuesday night Stubby talked about the importance of club members helping the club. The club is entirely run by volunteers. If you aren't an officer you can still support your club. Here is a good opportunity. We have 16 beers to judge, which means we have 16 entrants that can't be judges. If you haven't helped judge Masterbrewer this year, consider helping out. As Wayne stated, you don't have to be BJCP, heck you don't even need to have ever judged before. We need your help or we won't be able to crown a new Masterbrewer at the Christmas party on 12/16.

I really need for all this to happen on Nov 18. There should be a best of show (BOS), which means it has to happen all in one day.

Different judges have different thresholds. One judge could be consistently a few points different than another. It doesn’t mean they’re wrong, just that my 38 might be your 40 (50 point scale). That’s a bunch, on the last Masterbrewer comp, which likely will determine who gets Masterbrewer of the Year.
